SYNOPSIS: At a Radio and Television Correspondents' Association dinner in Washington in March 1993, Bill Clinton told the audience, "You know why I can stiff you on the press conferences? Because Larry King has liberated me from you by giving me to the American people directly." In this book, Larry King explains how he and other talk-show hosts made Clinton's boast possible and helped revolutionize the election process. But what was a baseball-loving guy from Brooklyn doing smack in the middle of a dizzying three-way race for this country's highest office? On the Line explains how the 1992 presidential race became a "call-in campaign." It examines the discovery of talk shows by America's political candidates and explores how this has permanently altered the rules of the political game. Remember when a Texas billionaire announced his candidacy to Larry King - and to the world - on international television? As TV Guide asserts, "No newscast . . . much less a talk show ever influenced a national election the way CNN's 'Larry King Live' did last year." On the Line features King's lively anecdotes about the candidates' revealing off-air comments; his dealings with their campaign managers, spokespeople, and strategists; and, most important, a record of his thoughts throughout that entire crazy year. The book also includes telling interviews with such prominent political insiders and outsiders as Al Gore, Dan Quayle, Ross Perot, Paul Tsongas, Mario Cuomo, John Sununu, Sam Skinner, Tim Russert, Mandy Grunwald, James Carville, Margaret Tutwiler, Marlin Fitzwater, Bernard Shaw, Rich Bond, Phil Donahue, and Gary Hart. Larry King has both ears fully tuned to the voice of the nation, and the nation is likewise tuned in to Mr. King. With nightly radio broadcasts on nearly four hundred stations, a talk show every weeknight on CNN, and a weekly column for USA Today, King knows what America is thinking. He senses the widespread cynicism about government, politics, and the traditional press. And he offers his audience the kind of direct access to politicians that formerly only lobbyists could buy. Filled with King's candid reflections and with editorial cartoons poking fun at the man the press dubbed "Kingmaker," On the Line documents the revolutionary influence that one man - and his media - had on a pivotal presidential race. Renowned talk-show host Larry King has received a Peabody Award, five Ace Awards, and in 1989 was named Broadcaster of the Year by the International Radio and Television Society. This is his sixth book, Mark Stencel was the political researcher at the Washington Post during the 1992 presidential campaign and a research assistant to syndicated columnist David Broder..
